I lay the dagger around his neck, the artery clinging to the blade, but my heart was already a little hairy.

The dark glass cup emits purple light, which means that this guy is no longer alive! So what I'm facing... Probably an evil thing!

"Haha... You're pretty clever, little one..."Grandpa's face suddenly became hideous, and the corners of his mouth stretched all the way back, revealing sharp teeth intersecting like steel nails.

I didn't see the slightest fear on his face, as if my dagger was just a plastic toy.

My right hand holding the dagger began to tremble slightly, this guy... Could it be a monster?!

"Grandpa" opened his lips slightly and said, "Boy, I originally planned to tell you when the time is ripe, but since you found out today, I might as well tell you the truth." This body is indeed your grandfather's, but it's a pity that he has already gone to the west. ”

"What?!" I was shocked, and my heart pounded. "No way, you lied to me!"

"Lie to you?! Take a good look at this shell. The old man patted his cheek as he spoke, "Your grandfather is dead, and now you are dealing with another soul who lives in his body. ”

"My grandfather is dead?! ... How did he die..."

The corners of the old man's mouth hooked up a playful arc, "All living things in the world, birth, old age, sickness and death, do you still need a reason?" ”

I said in a deep voice, "Then what kind of evil thing are you?!" Why is it in my grandfather's body? ”

The old man twisted his neck, and the bones inside crackled, "Old Man Chen died two years ago. Before he died, let me stay in this body to fulfill his long-cherished wish, as for my origin... You kid isn't qualified to ask yet. ”

I looked at the stranger in front of me a little distractedly: "Grandpa... Why?"

The old man smiled bitterly: "Hmph, it's not that you can't rest assured of his grandson?"

Hearing this, I felt more and more confused, "What do you mean by that?"

"Elder Chen just doesn't want you to follow his old path, and he doesn't want the generations of descendants of the Chen family to step into this endless abyss because of blood relationship!"

"What do you say? Could it be that my... Grandpa, he is also ?... "The shock at the moment is no longer enough to express my mood at the moment."

According to his words, grandpa and I turned out to be the same kind of people? If it was really because of blood ties that our family embarked on this path, why was my father an ordinary person, and he didn't seem to know all this. So how did our generation get on this path?

The old man smiled slightly, it seemed that my reaction was completely expected by him, and he raised his voice: "In other words, it is precisely because your grandfather is, so you are!"

My pupils shrank suddenly, "You mean grandpa... And I'm a watchman..."

"That's right, you're all working for the Order. Chen Lao had already spied on the heavens before his fall, and knew that you would inevitably embark on this path, so let me stay and rescue the descendants of the Chen family!"

My heart is already turbulent at the moment. It turns out that grandpa's strange behavior in the past was all because of his unique identity, so his family wealth makes sense. I didn't expect my grandfather to hide such an amazing secret.

I slowly put down the dagger and asked suspiciously, "Grandpa wants you to save me?" That... What are you going to do?!"

A little light of hope lit up in my heart. After all, I absolutely do not want to go through this dangerous road to complete the journey of my life. And since grandpa is also a watchman, and he is out of the control of the organization in the second half of his life, he must know the way to crack it.

The old man shook his head slightly: "Now is not the time to tell you. The more you know, the more dangerous your situation becomes. According to your grandfather's wishes, you must first complete at least five level missions, including one S-class mission. Then I can show you the way to liberation. ”

I suddenly felt like I was being poured a basin of cold water, and asked angrily and eagerly, "Why do you have to bother so much?!" Wouldn't it be better to just tell me how to do it?!"

Not to mention when the five missions will be completed, one D-class mission will kill me for the rest of my life. Isn't that S-class mission too far out of reach for me!

The old man pursed his lips with a sullen face, "You are really a hairy boy who doesn't know the height of the sky!" Your grandfather did this for your own good! This matter is so dangerous that even your grandfather is not completely sure. With your current humble strength, even if you know how to do it, you can't accomplish it at all, and it will only take your life in vain. The later you know, the better your chances of success, you know?!

I gritted my teeth, and although he had some truth in what he said, I didn't know if everything he said was true or false, and one word alone was not enough to convince me.

As for his relationship with his grandfather, the old guy never told me. That makes me a little more suspicious of him, so I can't let my guard down on this guy just yet.

My eyes gradually converged on his eyes, and although the person in front of me looked exactly like my grandfather, he was just the same shell, and who knew what the hell was hidden in his skin?

I said in a low voice, "You have said so much without the slightest basis. It's just a matter of rhetoric. Why should I believe you? ”

"Basis?!" The old man sneered, jumped up from the bed in an instant, and slammed his right fist into my head.

I was horrified, I didn't expect this old guy to do it suddenly, and so quickly!

I hurriedly raised my dagger to fend off his attack, only to find that there was only an afterimage left in the air!

The clothes behind me were blown up by a strong wind, and I turned my head in panic, but before I could move my steps, a strong arm slammed into my neck!

I felt my throat burn as if it were uncomfortable, and my limbs instantly became weak.

I stabbed the dagger backwards with all my might, but my elbow was immediately slammed into his knee, and the dagger fell to the ground with a "clang", and at that moment my right hand was twisted behind my back.

The strength of his arm was so great that it was like a pair of pincers around my neck. A sick old man would never have such strength!

I shuddered with pain: "You want to... What are you doing!"

"Boy, if I'm lying to you. Do you need to talk so much nonsense with you? The old man strangled my neck, his head sticking out from behind to my right shoulder, "Although my current strength is not as good as it was back then, I still have no power to kill you and your relatives." ”

I didn't know if his threat was real or not, but at this moment, I caught a glimpse of his two slender eyes with a faint red glow, fine lines arched on his face, and his nose retracted into two tiny dots.

This kind of beastly eyes is no different from what I saw when I first met Mu Lao and the demon Lao!

Could it be that ... This guy is also a lamp spirit?!

By this time, my face was flushed, but he still had no intention of letting go. I thought it was still important to live, so I said hesitantly: "Senior... I... I know wrong. ”

"Oh? Don't you think I'm lying to you?" The old man stared playfully at my face, which was as red as pork liver.

"No... I don't think so. "I felt like I was about to suffocate, and I didn't have any tools at hand to use, so I had to follow his wishes first.

"You're interested." The old man finally let go of his arm, got up and walked towards the bed, still sitting at the head of the bed.

I clutched my neck and coughed a few times before my breathing gradually cleared.

The old man wrapped his arms around his waist and smiled coldly at me: "I just remembered my friendship with Chen Lao, so I stayed here to help him fulfill his last wish." Everything you just told you is what your grandfather meant. But I don't have much friendship with you, a hairy boy, if you dare to provoke me, Lao Tzu can teach you a lesson for your grandfather at any time. ”

The hideous expression on his face gradually returned to normal when he spoke, and the red light on his eyes slowly faded, but the coldness of his words did not diminish at all.

I picked up the dagger on the ground and put it behind me: "Senior... It's grandpa's lamp spirit..."

"Mouthy!" The old man glared at me, frowned, and said, "What am I not doing your business!, you just have to do what I say!" ”

I had to purse my parched lips, "Got it." I'll come back to you when I'm done with the conditions my grandfather left me. ”

"It's good to know." The old man reached for the porcelain bowl on the table and took a sip of tea.

Seeing that he had nothing to say to him, I took a step to leave the house.

Just as I turned around, I heard a cold voice behind me: "In the days to come, don't talk to me about this again unless you meet the requirements I just made." I will not reveal your identity to your family. All in all, you and I act as if it never happened, and it's good for us. ”

I didn't reply, nodded my head in agreement, and walked out of the room.

What he said was not unreasonable, and whatever happened, any revelation of one of my identities with him would cause quite a bit of trouble at home.

It doesn't matter if what he says is true or not. In order to survive, I have to continue to complete the task of watching. When I have the ability to complete the most advanced tasks one day, I might as well try it with him. After all, he did what my grandfather told him to do, and he might have a way to save me.

But when I think that my grandfather has passed away, I still feel very uncomfortable. After all, my grandfather grew up with me in my childhood and brought me a lot of joy, but now we are separated by yin and yang, and I can't help but feel a tingle in my heart.

If he is right, then I can venture to speculate. Grandpa used to be a watchman who walked on the tip of a knife and risked his life to complete the task. It is likely that all he did was to be able to feed this family.

Later, in his old age, he no longer had the energy to complete all kinds of dangerous tasks, and then he didn't know how to break free from Daybreak's control.

In the end, Grandpa died of illness, and before he died, he asked his most trusted lamp spirit to be stored in his body in some unique way...

This may sound incredible, even fantastical, but only this situation can explain it.

I wanted to find a place to lie down and rest for a while, so I went upstairs and into my bedroom.

When I opened the creaking wooden door, I couldn't help but feel a sigh of emotion.

The bedroom was still the same familiar bedroom, except that the windows were closed, the surroundings were airtight, the light was dim, and the floor was full of debris.

Burlap bags of various colors were lying crookedly on the floor, the sheets had been folded and placed on top of the cabinets, and a thick layer of dust had fallen on the bed boards. Even the table that is usually used for homework is filled with transparent oil drums. Not to mention that the cobwebs in the corner were almost hanging over my head.

I sighed lightly and went outside to get a broom and dustpan and went into the house to clean up. Then the sack was moved outside.

The sacks were filled with peanuts and corn, and it was very difficult to move.

The house was tossed by me into a miasma, and it took a while to clean it up.

I lay down on the bed relaxed, staring at the ceiling quietly, gradually accepting the terrible fact that my grandfather had passed away, and the "grandfather" downstairs... It's just a monster that doesn't have a ghost or a ghost!
